Question

Is it normal for a baby to feel unwell during a rash?

Answer

When a baby has a rash and appears unwell, it might be a symptom of fever. It is advisable for parents to immediately measure the baby’s temperature to confirm if there is a fever. If a fever is detected, timely symptomatic treatment should be taken to reduce the risk of complications. Additionally, parents should pay attention to the baby’s diet and rest, ensuring the baby consumes plenty of fluids and nutrients to aid in a quick recovery.
